Each month Meghan Corridan, a pediatric
occupational therapist, joins Catherine to talk about activities
that are both fun and therapeutic for kids (and often their adults
too). This time she gives us the lowdown on all the benefits kids
get from cooking and baking—everything from fine motor skills to
self-esteem and confidence. Meghan also gives us her thoughts on
whether kiddie cooking products are worth our time (and our kitchen
storage space). Visit Meghan’s blog, MAC&Toys,
for more reasons to whip up some cookies with your kids. And if you
want your child to surprise you with a homemade Sunday brunch,
Catherine suggests letting him watch a show called Man vs. Child:
Chef Showdown for inspiration. (If you're reading this
